M3T carbon seats

[Terminator X]

1st world problems and all that but how do you lot get in and out of them without pulverizing that low down side bolster? It is slightly easier getting in as you can kind of drop inwards; getting out though is a nightmare, seems no other way than to swing legs around, sit on the bolster then wobble out like an absolute fool! I can't see the seat lasting 10k miles let alone say 50k ...

I don't have them but am told egress on the driver side is easier as you use the steering wheel as a lever, left hand on wheel, right hand on door sill.

I had them in a g80 and wouldn’t bother again. They were really comfortable but a proper pain to get in and out of. Left hand on the steering wheel and kind of jack yourself up with your right hand on the sill, and up and over the bolster but it’s hard to avoid rubbing the top at least a little bit.

I hardly used the car really and I’d imagine it’s a real pain as a daily if you are in and out half a dozen times. Will get the standard seat 100% if I get another one.

They do look really good but i've heard a few times now they are a pain to live with on a daily basis
